Judge Overturns Ruling Placing Sex Offender In Forest County

A Forest County judge has granted a temporary restraining order to keep a convicted sex offender from living in the town of Blackwell. Another judge has ordered 52-year-old Jeffrey LeVasseur to live in a rented house there — but Judge Leon Stenz countered that with the T-R-O granted last week. Residents living nearby had filed a civil suit against the property owner, arguing the neighborhood doesn’t allow rentals. The property owner has filed a motion requesting a new judge.
